NY governor to unveil bill to legalize gay marriage

NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York Governor David Paterson will introduce legislation on Thursday to make gay marriage legal, but the move faces an uncertain vote in the state's Senate.If the bill passes, New York would follow Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and Iowa in legalizing gay marriage."The timing was always right," said Paterson, a Democrat -- who ordered all New York state agencies a year ago to recognize out-of-state gay marriages. "It's just who is willing to take that step, and I am."
